OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Finishing for Stainless Steel

The Pferd 63034 POLIFAN Flap Disc is a premium abrasive tool designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. Part of Pferd's renowned POLIFAN line, this "Value" series disc offers an exceptional balance of performance and cost-efficiency, making it an ideal choice for workshops and manufacturing facilities that process large volumes of stainless steel. The disc features a 5-inch diameter with a standard 7/8-inch arbor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial angle grinders.

Engineered with a Type 29 conical profile, this flap disc is built for versatility. The angled flaps allow the operator to maintain a comfortable working position while applying higher pressure for stock removal or lighter pressure for blending. The 120 grit abrasive is specifically selected for finishing applications, providing a smooth, consistent surface profile that is essential when preparing stainless steel for polishing or painting. Unlike standard discs that may generate excessive heat, the specialized coating on this disc helps maintain cooler grinding temperatures, significantly reducing the risk of heat discoloration or warping on thin-walled stainless components.

Durability is a hallmark of the Pferd brand, and the 63034 is no exception. The robust fiberglass backing plate provides structural integrity and safety, absorbing vibration to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. The Zirconia Alumina grain structure is self-sharpening; as the grains fracture, they expose new, sharp cutting edges, ensuring that the cut rate remains consistent throughout the life of the disc. For industrial procurement managers and fabrication supervisors, the Pferd 63034 represents a reliable, high-performance solution for stainless steel surface conditioning.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Cost-Effective Performance: Delivers professional results at a competitive price point, ideal for bulk usage.
  • Cool Grinding Action: Minimizes thermal load on the workpiece, preserving the integrity of stainless steel alloys.

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and best for finishing flat surfaces and blending. Type 29 discs, like the Pferd 63034, are conical (angled), which makes them better for contouring, edge work, and aggressive stock removal as they provide more surface contact at an angle.

Yes, while it is optimized for stainless steel to prevent heat buildup, it can also be used effectively on mild steel and other ferrous metals.

120 grit is a fine abrasive used for finishing, blending, and cleaning. It is not designed for heavy stock removal but rather for smoothing out scratches left by coarser grits (like 40 or 60) and preparing the surface for painting or polishing.

The maximum operating speed is typically 12,200 RPM for 5-inch flap discs. Always check the label on the disc itself to ensure your grinder does not exceed the rated speed.

No, flap discs have an integrated backing plate (in this case, fiberglass) and do not require a separate backing pad like resin fiber discs do.

The 'SS Value' designation indicates that this product line is specifically formulated for Stainless Steel applications, offering a high-performance solution at a cost-effective price point for high-volume users.

No, this is a 5-inch disc. It should only be used on a 5-inch angle grinder with the appropriate guard. Using it on a smaller grinder involves removing safety guards, which is highly dangerous and not recommended.

Operators should always wear a face shield or safety goggles, hearing protection, heavy-duty gloves, and a respirator to protect against dust and debris.
